note 82300 added to function.curl-setopt

Clarification for the CURLOPT_NOBODY option: by excluding the body from your request, you're effectively making a HEAD request. Use the CURLOPT_NOBODY option to return only the headers in the remote response. Example: function check_url($url) { $c = curl_init(); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); // get the header curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1); // and *only* get the header curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // get the response as a string from curl_exec(), rather than echoing it curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1); // don't use a cached version of the url if (!curl_exec($c)) { return false; } $httpcode = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); return ($httpcode < 400); } ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 63.172.193.57 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82300 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82300/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82300/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82300/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82300/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82300/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82300/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82300 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82300 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
